Quote:Square neckslit for a musculata: Travis, you are most likely correct, but for the legionary impression I wanted to have enough padding at the neck. I usually carry my helmet tied to the right shoulder plates, but if I want to to carrying tests with a hamata, I'll probably have to hang it around my neck. Guess the padding will be very welcome, then
No doubt. A square neckhole makes sense with a musculata, in any other case, I'd want the padding. My guess is that officers had plently of slaves to haul their gear.
Which reminds me...anyone out there doing a slave impression for a tribune?
Not shopping around mind you, just curious.
